The Josh Jackson suspense is over with the consensus No. 1 Class of 2016 recruit committing to Kansas on Monday night. Now Arizona’s focus turns to five-star forward Terrance Ferguson, who most recruiting analysts believe is leaning toward Sean Miller’s program.
Curious to see what Arizona does. Still probably leads for Terrance Ferguson. Has plenty of scholarships to give.

Former Santa Rita High School standout and Arizona player D.J. Shumpert, the last player Lute Olson recruited to Arizona, is still alive in the NBA D-League playoffs with the Los Angeles D-Fenders. He averages 2.8 points and a respectable 5 rebounds a game inasmuch as he is averaging 15 minutes per game for the D-Fenders, who play a deciding Game 3 of an opening-round playoff series against Reno on Tuesday night. Shumpert transferred to Cal San Bernardino to conclude his career.
Rob Gronkowski is still backing the Wildcats. A marketing boon for Arizona.
